United Federation Starfleet is a Star Trek Fan Club that meets in Second Life®. Our Primary mission is to boldly live our lives following the ideals, philosophy and spirit of Starfleet and Gene Roddenberry.

Have you always wanted the opportunity to wear your Star Trek uniform everyday? What about the chance to interact with other Trek fans on a daily basis and even role-play with them? Do you think it’s too good to be true? Well, those of us in United Federation Starfleet do just that... every single day!

What does being a United Federation Starfleet Member mean then? It means that, in addition to being able to wear a unique and cool uniform everyday (although virtual, they are still pretty cool!), and being able to interact with friends and fellow officers on a daily basis, we can actually experience what Starfleet is all about.

United Federation Starfleet was founded by Michael Vermoesen - aka Admiral Mike Calhoun - and is a group of Second Life users with a common passion - Star Trek. The group was created to bring people together, from every corner of the world, and then enable them to interact with each other and “live the dream” of being part of the Star Trek universe.

United Federation Starfleet is located at Sector001, a SIM (short for SIMulator, otherwise known as an “island” in Second Life) where its members take advantage of a carefully and elegantly constructed "Trek-themed playground" in which to “live the dream”.

United Federation Starfleet members can enjoy a myriad of facilities including futuristic condo housing, a sandbox, two space stations named Tranquility and Athena, quarters aboard those stations, an officer's lounge, a shopping mall, a recreational beach, quiet parkland and so much more.

During 2379, the entire Romulan Senate was assassinated in a coup by Shinzon of Remus. Whilst he was soon deposed, the Empire was left in complete disarray. The Federation began attempts to mediate power-sharing talks between the numerous Romulan and Reman factions, until an agreement was eventually reached whereby Remus was made a protectorate of the Klingon Empire and the Reman people allowed to settle on a Romulan continent.

The Federation also began providing material and humanitarian aide to the devastated Romulan Star Empire, and attempted to facilitate negotiations for the re-establishment of a permanent government. Starfleet Vessels routinely patrolled the Neutral Zone and the Star Empire. Not only did Starfleet see this as a tactical necessity, it also provided the opportunity for a new dawn of exploration, which had been virtually stagnant for the previous 12 years.

During routing patrols on the edge of the Romulan Border near to Khittomer, the USS Wraith, an experimental scout ship, detected an anomaly which turned out to be an intermittent wormhole.

Months of intensive scientific study discovered the wormhole spawned at random anywhere within a 20,000 light year radius. Ongoing scientific studies resulted in being able to predict where and when the wormhole would next appear. Whilst it opened randomly this side, the far side remained at a stable, permanent location in the Delta Quadrant. However, once the wormhole closed, the length of time before it opened again got greater each time.

Starfleet Command identified the Pinastri Star System in the Nekrit Expanse region of the Delta Quadrant as the perfect home for a Federation colony. The region was close to the site of the Borg Unicomplex, a place that Voyager had travelled to on many occasions, therefore it’s sensor logs were full of information about this region of space.

It is a strategic location within close proximity of a number of alien cultures such as the Voth and the ruins of the Primary Borg Unicomplex, but also due it being fairly central in the quadrant, it is within warp distance of most of the key political powers. The system is some 63,000 light years from Earth.

On the 12th January 2381 the Federation Council finally approved funding for the creation of United Federation Starfleet to set up a Delta Quadrant colony. Plans were made for a two-phase journey through the now named "Khittomer Wormhole" during March and June, the next two occasions when the wormhole would spawn.

Many Federation construction facilities were utilised as an intensive UFS shipbuilding program began, including the manufacture of Cascade Station on Earth prior to transport to the Delta Quadrant where it was assembled in orbit of Pinastri Prime.
